'Thank you very much. You've all now posted the subs you each feel are the very strongest articles from the unpublished pieces you have written. I've reviewed every turgid one of them and I now feel much happier that I was right all along, my judgement is immeasurably superior to yours and you can all get back on your oars in the galley, let the rate increase and the rations decline.'

Cheers guys, was tempted to put that on here myself, but given the amount of nice comments it got I thought that it couldn't really have been missed, and therefore must have been deemed not FP material. I think it's one of my best though but understand that it's probably not the right style.

I'm guessing from the fact that only one of the suggestions on here has been used, but others that are months old are turning up as NiBs, that the editors have decided asking us to suggest things that we think should have been used was a bad idea and hasn't worked. So have instead trawled back through themselves to pick out some good ones that were overlooked first time around.

I was dismayed at the complete silence that greeted this. I thought it was quite funny and made a real point about the silliness of the people who spend large amounts of spare time sniping at Bieber and his ilk.
